Art for my OC's Augustine & Ariette's wedding! This from 2017. Gosh, that feels forever ago. In art school I was told you shouldn't include work older than 2 in a portfolio, and that artwork older than 4 years isn't typically looked at or considered in a lot of commercial art fields. But I still really love these pieces, and sharing joy shouldn't matter less than adhering to commercial standards.

Plus, this was used as an RP event in the magic school group I designed these characters for! I also had the winning idea for our overarching plot that year: a secret garden with an angry ghost that needed to be put to rest. It was so much fun to contribute to that group, even though I ultimately royally screwed my admin role as my mom's condition worsened & she passed away.

Painting this background was very formative in my attempts at large scale detailed backgrounds, and I credit this for how good my Life is Strange junkyard paint job came out. This was the venue for my OCs Augustine & Ariette's wedding.

I spent so much time on the background for that life is strange piece, I wanted to share it on its own. Painting over the screenshot was tricky, but it made me realize most of the cars in the Life is Strange junkyard are copy/pasted assets, hehe. Idk why it didn't occur to me that modern video games would use copy/pasted assets in environments the same way older ones did.
